Human-in-the-Loop Approval Workflows

What this post added

This post introduces a pattern for building human-in-the-loop approval workflows using Temporal. It addresses common failure modes in document approval processes such as unanswered requests, missed deadlines, and lost state across restarts. The solution leverages Temporal's durable execution to ensure decisions are waited on reliably, SLAs are enforced automatically, escalations occur without external schedulers, and all actions are recorded.
